LifeStream Summary Week 5
This week I wanted my LifeStream to reflect what I actually do online rather than try to find things with which to fill it.
As a language teacher, much of my online presence is occupied with finding resources, practice materials and classroom stimuli, so I wanted these to feed into my life as a student.
I also decided that I should show some of the things that divert me and amuse me when I need a boost. So, a couple of videos from YouTube, for example. Perhaps not particularly edifying but definitely things I would miss if I didn’t have when I feel fed-up (long live Dawn French).
"Take a chance on Dawn"
There are links to some stories I’ve read and things I’ve been doing online. This week I upgraded my iPhone and iPad to iOS5. This was scary as I’ve heard lots of stories about things going horribly wrong. They didn’t. But since upgrading, I’ve been interested in iCloud and that’s in the LifeStream, too. All in all, I realise that I’m not much of an active member of groups and that is also reflected in my LifeStream; I seem to enjoy dipping in to things I need or want without hanging around much. In college, I’m part of a team that helps answer BBVista queries on our “Get Satisfied” site but that is strictly off-limits to the LifeStream, unfortunately. Sadly, also discovered that the new Guardian App is not available here. So, I’ll have to stick to old-fashioned reading the paper online. So not cool!
Not scary at all!

hi Neil – I’m a proud new ipad owner and have discovered that a number of apps (flipboard, safari) will let you forward things to instapaper. And instapaper has a lifestream feed. A bit roundabout, but if the guardian app supported it, maybe a way to add to the lifestream from a mobile device?

Hi Jen, thanks for the tip. I’ve added instapaper as a feed though it won’t refresh at the moment and reports an error. Flickr is also playing up and not feeding through images I posted today. Anyway, all part of the learning!
